William looked away from the corner of his eye in excitement as Flallo saluted him to acknowledge allegiance Nezmaar with the corners of his mouth pulled up.

It’s not that there was anything wrong with her previous behavior, after all, it was what he would have done to make Flaro and the entire Emerald Province government acknowledge allegiance. Just according to her statement, wouldn’t it be true in these people’s hearts that their identity as the eighth Holy Spirit came into the world?

However, after feeling the solemn atmosphere around, William sighed in his heart.

Forget it… If there are misunderstandings, I will slowly resolve them in the future. Looking at the current atmosphere, this is not the time to explain.

On the other hand, he was a little worried that the executive officer of the Punishment Church, who was in a hurry, would give himself a passionate speech such as “Congratulations…”.

Fortunately, I don’t know if Nezmaar noticed the glance that he turned away – although she seemed very excited at the moment, she planned to open her mouth several times as if she was going to say something, but in the end she didn’t. They were all suppressed by themselves.

After completing this whole set of etiquettes symbolizing acknowledge allegiance, William bent slightly and stretched out his hand to help Flaro up.

At this time, a voice mixed with anger and ridicule came from behind them.

“Hahahaha, promise? Is your promise worth anything?”

Ebony pointed at William, trembling all over.

At this moment, he clenched his back molars, and his hoarse voice was almost squeezed out of his own throat.

However, before William was about to answer, Flaro, who was beside him, spoke first:

“I know you have been replacing the ‘rotten root sap’ used for execution, An alchemical potion used to fake suspended animation. I also know that you sent those people to the roots of the World Tree to hide, but do you know why I haven’t exposed you?”

Her words were plain and calm, which made the other party stunned for a while.

If he had heard the tyrant mention this secret about him before today, he would have been horrified to the core. However, at the moment, he didn’t know how to respond to this question for a while.

“You already knew that?”

he asked after a moment’s hesitation.

“Actually, the preparation of those alchemy potions is completely superfluous, because ‘Rotten Root Sap’ will only work on the living.”

Flaro did not answer the other party’s question , but turned to another matter.

But the meaning in her words was already obvious. Those who Ebony thought he had saved were all undead.

And this is exactly the same as what William said before, the forty-two people he rescued were all undead driven by residual memories.

“By the way, I’ve been sending people to maintain the [Green Guard] you released. It will indeed cause a greater physical burden to continue to release that spell with the body of the undead.”

Frallo continued. She looked straight at Ebony as if she was about to kill someone. Although there was no emotion in her tone, her words were full of provocation and sarcasm.

“No, it’s not impossible…they’ve been me all these years…”

After hearing this, Ebony looked back and forth at William and Flallo in front of him, The footsteps involuntarily stepped back slightly, with a tone so light that it felt helpless.

“You… united to deceive me, right?”

After saying these words, he stopped his involuntary backsteps.

“That’s right, it must be so! You’re cheating on me together!”

at first like muttering to myself, then like convincing myself, at the end , there is no longer any hesitation in Ebony’s voice. He clenched his fists sharply, looked towards the two people in front of him, and his eyes showed a firmness that was close to fanaticism.

It’s like the eyes of a gambler who puts his arm on the table after the stud fails.

Seeing this, William turned his head and looked towards Flaro and asked:

“Can you explain? What the hell is going on?”

The forty-two people he had seen in the underground roots were indeed undead, although William didn’t quite understand why they were able to maintain that level of sanity.

But he had always thought that those undead were the handwriting of the Holy Tree Duke. After all, I took the initiative to control the most radical opposition forces in my own hands. On the one hand, it was used as a pressure relief valve for my high-pressure rule. It’s standard practice for dystopian rulers.

However, from their previous conversations, it seems that Flallo did not take the initiative to participate in the conversion of those forest elves into undead, but only tacitly allowed them to operate their own forces in the underground roots.

“Yes, under the Holy Spirit Pavilion, if you want to know the answer…they, including this Mr. Ebony, are the so-called ‘wedges’ laid by the Hungry Lady for the ultimate ceremony.”

Flaro replied with a slight bow.

“The wedges? You mean they ‘crossed’ from another timeline to our present timeline, like a needle in a thread?”

William asked.

He doesn’t like this statement very much, because it’s like saying that people in other saves can run into the current timeline and have two selves that can appear in this world at the same time.

Fortunately, Flalloshook the head.

“You know, this is impossible… The two timelines are not two worlds that exist in parallel, but two possibilities for one thing at the same time. So, he can be a A tribal warrior abandoned on an ebony branch, or a warrior born in the ebony tribe; it can be either a forest elf with Life Aura, or an undead created by the Hungry Lady.”

She said and turned to the ebony road:

“So for you, for those poor people who are still brewing in their roots to overthrow me, it may just be After waking up one day, I changed the timeline to what it is now. I arrived at a timeline that is similar to the original timeline, but very different in detail and essence.”

After she finished speaking, she held the spell matchmaker in her hand and calmly looked towards the ebony that she wished to swallow her alive.

“This is a complete… lie!”

Ebony gnashing teeth squeezed out this sentence, but other than this sentence, he didn’t seem to know that he still What can you say to refute.

William felt that the opponent would be able to move directly after a little more stimulation, but since the opponent’s battle strength couldn’t last three rounds in Flallo’s hands, he didn’t make a round, but continued to attack Flora. Luo asked:

“So you acquiesced to them to stay in the depths of the underground root system, just to make them unaware?”

Flaro nodded and said:

p>

“Once they realize that they are not in the same timeline of the past, this cognitive conflict may cause chaos in the timeline, which in turn becomes a fuse for the Hungry Lady to trigger the replacement of the timeline. Therefore, once I find out that such people exist, I will ‘actively’ send them to the isolated place in the underground root system, so that they will not notice the violation.”

“As for him, I recommend him as the listener of the Holy Tree, on the one hand, to grasp the actions that the Hungry Lady may have. On the other hand, in this temple, he does not have many opportunities to go out and touch the outside world. He is more I am willing to be immersed in my own story, and I am willing to continue planning here that there is no chance of realization…”

Before she could finish her words, Spirit Thorn Qing, the beast coiled around the ebony body, came alive in an instant. come over.

A roar that seemed to make the blood coagulate came out from the mouth of the beast spirit, and Ebony rushed towards Flora at a speed that did not match his burly figure.

His left fist was clenched like a cannonball straight into Flaro’s face. Because the speed was too fast, the air was beaten with a sharp whistling sound. At the same time, a pale lion’s head roared and appeared on his fist, its mane was like a burning flame, and its eyes were full of wild wildness. The bloody mouth wide open like a sacrificial bowl seems to be able to gnaw off her entire upper body before the ebony fist blows Flaro’s head flying.

This is the special innate talent power of the forest elves. By signing a contract with the great spirits of wild beast, they can obtain the help of those wild souls.

“bang!”

It was as if a truck hit a wall, and almost instantly, a wall of ice crystals blocked Flaro and Ebony. between.

The punch carrying the power of the white lion beast slammed into the ice crystal wall, and the cracks of the densely packed quickly extended on the wall like lightning.

Ebony’s fist smashed into the ice wall several inches deep—almost the entire fist was smashed into it.

The seventh rank is the frost spell [Wall of Ice Crystal], which is enough to block the pure physical defense spell that passes through the city-breaking giant crossbow.

Flaro stood on the other side of the barrier, and the entire barrier was punched out of a bulge by the opponent’s furious punch – the funnel-shaped bulge was nowhere near the tip of her nose. A distance of two centimeters, and new cracks are constantly extending all around, it seems that it will be broken like glass in the next instant.

“Very good, at least you still have anger.”

Looking at the ice crystal barrier that seemed to be broken at any time, Flaro stood on the spot and said without blinking.

“And my anger can tear you to shreds!”

Ebony roared and replied, and then tried to pull out his right arm, intending to use the white lion beast spirit to deal with it. The wall of the road came with a punch.

For this, Flallo was slightly sighed.

“Sometimes I really don’t know whether it’s a good thing or a bad thing to clarify the cruel truth to the client.” Interested, but asked another question:

“But is ebony also undead? I didn’t see any clues when I used [Necro Detection] before.”

In response to William’s question, Flallo turned his spell agent slightly. The ice blue array at the bottom of the stick changes with her movements.

“It’s normal not to see the clues… Anyway, he also has to stay in the Holy Tree shrine all the time. In case tourists from other provinces find out his true identity, that’s okay. It’s too bad.”

Ebony found that he couldn’t draw his right hand – the air all around cooled down rapidly, and the fine and regular ice crystals climbed to the wrist along his right fist, Forearm, elbow…

He tried to break free, but it was in vain. Every time he shattered and shook off an ice crystal that was imprisoning his joint, more ice crystals would start. spread over himself.

It was only ten seconds, and half of the opponent’s body was completely imprisoned. Seeing this, Flallo tapped the spell matchmaker in his hand, and the ice crystal barrier blocking her and Ebony instantly shattered and dissipated.

She took two steps forward, stood in front of the other party, then gently took off the antler crown from the other party’s head, and then looked back towards William and said:

p>

“Lord William, what about now?”

William didn’t even need to use [Necro Detection], and the moment the antler crown was taken off, he felt extremely strong The Death Aura diffused out from the other side.

“Um…”

William nods and said.

Flaro turned his head and looked towards Ebony upon seeing this. At this moment, the opponent’s entire face was frozen, so he couldn’t make any complicated expressions at all. But his eyes full of anger showed his current mood.

“That’s why I will give you the antler crown… Also, I believe you must be in the revelation that ‘Holy Tree Mother’ gave you, and heard him say many times to keep you out The matter of taking off the crown of antlers in front of people, right? Is your devotion to the ‘big mother’ only this level, or is your desire for secular power in the Emerald Province too strong?”

“After all, in your opinion Come on, the person who should sit on the throne of Kurong should belong to you originally. In fact, in your timeline, maybe it really is like that… if you don’t recognize me.”

Flaro said so.

For Hungry Lady, getting Neh’s inheritance is undoubtedly the blind spot and variable when the two timelines are synchronized.

“You… a poisonous woman who plays with people’s hearts…”

Wiggling his lips with difficulty, Ebony squeezed out such a sentence.

Although he said so, the anger that had been brewing before had been released, like a balloon that had been punctured.

William also walked in front of Ebony, and he also tapped the spell matchmaker in his hand, and the ice crystals on the other side were instantly dissipated and invisible.

Ebony, who was released from the confinement, fell to his knees on the ground, panting heavily with his hands on the ground.

See this, William frowned.

The other party is still trying to breathe that is not necessary for him, which proves that in his deep in one’s heart, he still doesn’t think he is an undead.

William was going to help Ebony up, but the other party threw his hand away, coldly said:

“No matter what, you didn’t keep your previous promise. .”

In response, William was shrugged, reached into his storage space and took out the “Judgment Three”, a rough dagger that looked like an obsidian texture.

“I want you to come up with this thing to win my trust and use my hand to get rid of the current Holy Tree Duke. It should be a part of Camilla’s plan.”

William said, causing the dagger to float in midair.

“It’s a pity that He didn’t know that he was in Black Crowwang not long ago. The Widow of Iron Heart told me that the ‘Judgment Three’ that He created is now in the hands of the Tacoma Order.”

With that said, William activated the Light Element spell [Item Destruction], and with a flash of bright light, the dagger turned into a pool of debris floating in the midair.

“A trial arm is not something that can be destroyed. So… it’s your breach of contract, isn’t it?”

After all this, William didn’t care about him anymore. He got up directly, looked towards the surroundings and said:

“Next, let’s control the ‘wedges’ of the underground root system.”
